Very Very Gentle Cleanser

This is literally one of the most gentle cleanser ever made. It is great for all skin types, and the cleaning ability is rated ~ 7.5/10. However, the only small flaw is its texture; it is too watery and could easily drip out of my hand.

Proper pH, effective cleansing!

I've been using Neutrogena ultra gentle face wash and had no problems with it, but wanted to try this. This takes off my makeup (Maybelling FIT, concealer and powder plus blush, etc). I usually wash 2x when I wear makeup even using the Neutrogena. I never see any remains on my cotton ball as I wipe with clear toner. This is nice, doesn't react with any of my other products and I would say it is very comparable to the Neut ultra gentle. Proper pH readies skin for treatments.

Excellent!

During my first use, I found myself disappointed that it didn't foam much and I wasn't a fan of the texture. Then as I rinsed my face, I was amazed by how clean my combination skin felt. A real gem of a product!

non irritating

earlier, i've purchased PC skin balancing cleanser. though it did well to get rid of my cystic acne and break-outs it also left my skin dried and irritated.
earth sourced cleanser impressed me of how good it removes dirt and oil from the skin without irritating it to much. it also has a nice texture. though it is not effective as previous product in the acne war. this one does well for sensitive skin. so i will purchase it again with combination of another cleanser.

Better for combo/oily skin

If you have drier skin, stick to the Skin Recovery or Moisture Boost cleansers.
This one is a foaming cleanser, which is what I used before I found Paula's Choice. It isn't drying, but it isn't moisturizing, either. So probably better for you if you don't need a little moisture out of your cleanser.
I find the SR and MB cleansers to be more soothing, as well.

Good cleanser

I already had a cleanser I liked so when this came in my sample kit I wasn't really looking to convert and I'm still not. The gel cleanser has a light lather which is nice and does make your skin feel clean. There is a little bit of a sticky feeling after...not super smooth but other then that it was fine. I think it's a great option for those who want an organic cleanser that's good for your skin!

I'm obsessed with this cleanser. The first one I have EVER tried that removes all makeup without leaving my face red and tight. I just wish it came in a pump!

Not as good as I hoped

At first I liked it, I thought it was pretty gentle and does a decent job at cleaning. However, after using it for 2 weeks, I noticed that I was getting more and more tiny breakouts. I also noticed that my face was getting drier and started peeling (this was during May).

Works great, but hated the smell

The product worked beautifully, easily took off makeup and left my skin feeling great. However, I just couldn't get over the smell. If they could neutralize or improve the smell I would make this my go-to cleanser.

NOT for oily skin

Decided to try this after running out of my usual cleanser. While it does a good job of cleansing, it just does not control the oil on my face. I am going back to using the Skin Balancing Cleanser also from PC, that cleanser is amazing! It really controls my oily skin all day long.

Good gel cleanser

I purchased this when it was on sale because I was not sure if it would dry my skin out. I am glad I tried it. I like to use a really basic cleanser in the morning that is not too moisturizing but not drying either. This worked well for me. It does not dry my skin out and seems like a pretty basic neutral cleanser. If I used it twice a day it might be a little drying but I use a creamy formula for pm. I especially like that it does not sting my eyes.

Nice Cleanser

I have oily skin and prefer a gel type cleanser. I find this one cleans my skin well but doesn't leave it feeling dry. I like the fact that is has natural sourced ingredients and is very gentle. It doesn't even sting my eyes. Only negative is it's a bit pricey.

Didn't expect much from Gentle... but got lots!!!

This was one of the first items I bought from Paula. It was on sale and I decided to give it a try though I didn't expect much. The texture of the liquid was a bit off putting to me but I used it and I really like it! It took the make-up off and it was very kind to my face. I am now trying the Skin Balancing cleanser but plan on switching back.

Favorite PC cleanser

I've tried the Skin Balancing, Clear, and Hydralight cleansers, but this is my new favorite. I feel like it gets my slightly oily skin the cleanest. I had to wash my face twice with the other cleansers, but this one removed all my makeup (including mascara) the first time. Like all the PC cleansers I've tried, it doesn't sting my eyes or make my skin feel tight and dry.

Not soothing enough and a bit drying...

This cleanser is "okay" in warmer weather, but if the temp is below say 45-50 degrees it is a bit drying and not soothing enough. I have normal to dry/sensitive skin. However, the Earth Sourced toner is my favorite of all PC toners.

My Favourite Cleanser Yet

This all-natural cleanser feels so good on my combination skin - smooth and silky. People keep telling me how lovely my skin looks! The cleanser removes makeup effectively and effortlessly. I have cut down on my moisturizer because I find my skin doesn't get as dry as it did with the CLEAR cleanser. My only complaint is that the bottle dispenses more cleanser than needed through the large hole in the cap, so I end up going through it a lot faster than Paula's other cleansers.

Great Price!

I use this every day with a disposable buff puff pad. I usually prefer traditional soap that lathers. This doesn’t lather as much as I prefer. This cleanser does an amazing job at cleansing my skin. It removes make-up, oils without stripping my skin. I usually buy the Philosophy brand exfoliating cleanser at $60 a bottle. This product is sooooo much cheaper and I got it half priced.

Washes make up right off!

Simply the best cleanser I've used. I normally prefer creamy cleansers but this one is perfect. It doesn't strip the skin and the toner is a great compliment. I really hadn't expected this product to be so terrific and now I'm done hunting or trying other products.
Excellent!

My favorite of all Paula's cleansers

I held off on buying this for a while, preferring the All Over body shampoo to wash my face. I have tried most of Paula's cleansers in the 10 years I have been shopping her products (exclusively). But boy am I glad I gave this a go. The texture when washing is unlike the other cleansers--very hard to describe, but silky and smooth. It doesn't lather, but I don't mind. It also removed makeup better than any of the others and left my skin soft. So I bought another bottle to stock up. Love this!

Switched

A long time user of Skin Recovery cleanser, I finally tried this line. Now I'm stuck with an unopened bottle of the skin recovery because this stuff is fantastic! Zero breakouts for the first time in my 50+ years. Will give a set to my 16yo old niece who also suffers from sensitive skin.
Wish the bottle was larger and a flat cap would help to get that last ounce out. Not a big fan of the shade of green, but glad it's not a girly color so my nephew will be willing to try it too

Wanted it to work

I wanted this cleanser to be "the one" because it's made from nearly all natural ingredients, advertised as soothing for sensitive skin, and received many highly positive reviews. However, the sad fact is that it dries out my already dried out face. Too bad. Back to trial and error.

An excellent all-in-one cleanser

I really like this cleanser. It's main features for me is that is removes all makeup, including eye makeup. A little drop is all you need to remove foundation and eye makeup, even for very oily skin like I have. Very gentle, yet very effective and does help remove daily oil in order to moisturize properly afterwards. I am new to Paula's Choice and will be buying lots of products more often!

Amazing as a face and body wash

I purchased this face wash while it was on sale and ended up LOVING it as a BODY wash instead! I normally use PC's CLEAR cleanser as I have oily/ combination + sensitive + acne-prone skin! Hardly anything works! While CLEAR is still my go to face wash (LOVE IT), this Earth Sourced Cleansing Gel is my go to body wash when I shower, and doubles as a face wash (kill two birds with one stone) WITHOUT any problems!!! I absolutely LOVE this Earth Sourced Cleanser!!! I wish it's regular price was less.

Excellent Cleanser!

I have combination skin & I've been using Paula's Hydralight cleanser for several years. I've also tried the Skin Balancing cleanser. I recently tried a sample of this cleanser & I was so impressed, I ordered the full size. It's great for makeup removal and best of all, no irritation to my eyes whatsoever which was a first in my experience. It doesn't dry out my skin & leaves it feeling clean & soft. I only wish I had tried this cleanser sooner. I hope Paula never discontinues this.
